Ok, I got the white tube out. It was a wrestling match, but I won.
HOWEVER: I'm not sure that's a good idea. The gas lid screws on more softly now, no positive "ok, that's enough". There is a foam gasket in the cap and I think it's seating against the gasket now instead of the tube. The gasket pulled away from the edge of the groove it sits in. And the top edge of the tank isn't wide enough or smooth enough to support that foam gasket............me thinks..............
Check yours out before you jump in there.
I'm thinking about putting a clear tank on if the gauge is as inaccurate as it seems to be. So if that cap needs the tube I'll know better.
There is a lot more room for filling now, and I can see when it's getting full. Your choice.
Hoots: How does the gasket in your cap look??
How to: white tube out of gas tank filler???

It will be out today. And thanks for the rag tip, good idea. 
CBR: I don't know if the stick trick will work on the REVs. I usually syphon the gas out through the fuel pump hose (that way you don't get any more gas out of the tank than the pump can get out) and then fill it one gallon at a time and note the gauge readings. 
I think I am going clear if the tank is the same size.
traction: I had to rip the thing to shreds to get it out, so I don't think that part will work. BUT...............the tubes may be available from Ski-Doo. And since you're right about "putting it back in" can be done cause it's just a push in fit. So, if the tubes are replaceable, you've hit the nail on the head.
